I really dislike the trend of buying products but being restricted in how we can modify them. When warranties are involved, the manufacturer should have some say to prevent you from wrecking your car. But when they start throwing DMCA suits against you, that's when you know when it has gone too far.
Maybe this will be the example the lawmakers need to see how ridiculous their policies are.

A few years back, I got slammed with something like this when I stupidly let someone use my number cause they didnt have a phone. After calling Verizon, they refunded my money and put something on my account to block the possibility of me being signed into any of this shit ever again.
